I agree but on the one hand we have someone coming with the follow-up to one of the most celebrated releases of the last 5-7 yrs while on the other an artist just doing ok things who just played last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's stepped away from working with Jack Antonoff and new single is a banger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrophobia Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Twigs still has not dropped out, I don't think we need to discuss replacements... Mountain Goats would benefit from a seated venue, wouldn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whos3000_ Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) Nick cave first headliner 2025? Don’t wanna hear anyone saying he’s going to be added since it won’t happen. however, I feel like they would benefit from announcing someone big as an additional headliner. I wonder how sales are going for Thursday and Saturday. maybe it’s just my taste but thinking we had nick cave and depeche mode these last 2 years makes me less excited about Lana del Rey and sza Edited March 6 by Whos3000_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I saw Sleaford Mods play the Rayban tent (not the Rayban stage) to about 30 people in 2015. Was pretty intense in a good way - they just aren't suited to a big stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that logic holds up. On another note: last year, New Order were announced on March 7th. So...😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteredscreens Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 reckon sales are still probably better than 2023 so expecting no New Order sized addition. The fact they've sold out day tickets for one of the days is already better than 2023. I reckon mid March we'll get a small number of names but nothing big. Maybe even just the announcement of the new electronic stage. Also reckon we might hear more about FKA twigs too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kendrick Lamar and Depeche Mode did not sell out a day last year neither SZA will. And I don't expect those thursday sales to be pushed by Pulp and Vampire Weekend more than by Blur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. And this choice would, in turn, imply that Thursday and Saturday capacity will be lower (less 3-days passes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verminkt Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I'm going to my first Primavera Sound this year and I really want to go to the opening night with Phoenix and the brunch on sunday. I am reading stuff about a reservation system, but I can't find whether that has already started or not? Is it hard to get access? And are there more names coming? If so, are we expecting big names?

Got it. Hope you're wrong. I also saw them in that show back in 2015 and really enjoyed the roughness of it. I assume they've refined their stage antics since so a bigger stage might not ruin the experience though GM's main stage is definitely too big for them..

The reservations haven't started yet, I guess at the beginning of May? Last year, there was no problem to get a reservation for almost anything, even a couple of days after the reservations had started (maybe except for Darkside in a very small venue). So just follow their socials and I'm confident you'll be able to get anywhere.* * This statement doen't apply to the mysteroius Wednesday booking yet to be revealed.

They must have a capacity threshold for Friday Because some of the capacity threshold will be based on people attending with weekend tickets, so they're clearly downgrading the expected weekend tickets in order to offer more threshold to the day ticket holders I assume.
